Capital Fund

• Creation of a Climate/Sustainability block fund
  
• 1.5 million/year for the next 7 years 10.5
  million total
• Reflect net additional funding needed (total
  minus those allocated to match PGE partnership)
• Source Chancellors discretionary fund as Short
  Term Investment Pool, use savings from the short
  payback (4 years) energy efficiency
  projects to settle the fund.

The UC Berkeley Bicycle Plan, The LRDP CalCAP

• Released in 2006, the Campus Bicycle Plan calls
  to meet and preferably exceed the 2020 Long Range
  Development Plans goal to increase the number of
  bicycle commuters by 500 over the next 10 years
• The Bicycle Plan calls for 440K in high priority
  bicycle projects to be completed to support the
  LRDP commute goals
• The Bicycle Plans high priority projects are
  part of the CalCAP Greenhouse Gas Emissions
  Reductions strategy
• 124K has been allocated in 2007-2008 from
  administration funds to complete the most
  pressing high-priority safety and way-finding
  projects.

17
Campus Bicycle Plan Projects
18
Campus Primary Bikeway Network
Accommodate a multi-user environment on campus
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Create a network
of mostly roads and some pathways that enhance
bicycle movements on campus as well as improve
connections between the campus and the City of
Berkeley
19
Communications Monitoring

• COMMUNICATIONS
• Update the Rolling Through Berkeley brochure
• Include bicycling information on Campus Access
  Information signs
• Improve bicycling information on the web and
  participate in outreach events

MONITORING As called for in the LRDP Every three
years, the campus conducts transportation surveys
of faculty, staff and students to find out how
they commute to campus
